Cashier threatened with knife

Two robbers threatened a cashier with a knife at a Caversham petrol station on Tuesday.

The men went into the Total garage in George Street at around 9.30pm demanding cash and one said he had a knife, although the 28-year-old cashier did not see a weapon.

Detective Constable Mandy Brownlie, from Reading CID, said: “This incident has left the cashier extremely shaken, but fortunately no-one was injured in the incident.

“A knife was not used in the robbery but one of the offenders told the victim that he had one in his pocket.”

One of the offenders is white, aged between 20 and 25, 5ft 10ins tall and stocky. The other offender is black, also between 20 and 25 years old, 5ft 11ins tall with an athletic build. They were both wearing hooded tops.
